Il mondo, tutto sommato, lo conosciamo. No? Siamo arrivati a una certa età. Abbiamo, chi più, chi meno, studiato, viaggiato, letto, visto, conosciuto. Eppure abbiamo sempre la sensazione che ci sia qualcosa di più. Qualcosa di nascosto. I libri, da sempre, servono a fare luce su quello che a un primo sguardo non si vede, dell'universo e delle persone che ci circondano. Di noi, per primi. Non è un discorso religioso, ma umano: gli scrittori che incontreremo con Alice parlano di donne e uomini, e cercano di illuminare un po' del mistero che si portano dietro.Non si vedono, ma ci sono, l'inquietudine e la violenza che si agitano sotto la superficie della tranquilla cittadina di Harmony, che fa da sfondo all'ultimo romanzo di Michael Bible, Goodbye Hotel (Adelphi). Alla sua seconda prova letteraria tradotta in italiano dopo L'ultima cosa bella sulla faccia della Terra, lo scrittore originario del North Carolina ritrova le atmosfere della grande letteratura del Sud degli Stati Uniti, una tradizione che passa per William Faulkner e Flannery O'Connor, rinnovata con l'applicazione di un'ironia che sa essere tenera e spietata allo stesso tempo. Non si vede, nascosto agli occhi del mondo, il rifugio del protagonista di La finestra sul porto (Feltrinelli), nuova prova narrativa di Claudio Piersanti. È un uomo pieno di segreti, l'avvocato immaginato dallo scrittore e sceneggiatore italiano, e finirà al centro di un triangolo amoroso, tra estasi e tragedia. E serve proprio a rendere visibili le cose, la letteratura, secondo Paolo Nori. O almeno, così scrive nel suo ultimo Chiudo la porta e urlo. Che racconta la storia di un poeta – chi meglio di un poeta può usare le parole per svelare il mistero? – che lo stesso Nori ama: Raffaello Baldini, che ha scritto tutta la vita in dialetto romagnolo. Ma poi, in realtà, il libro parla soprattutto di Nori stesso, e di tutti noi: con tono ironico, a tratti esilarante, montando con ritmo sincopato brevi frammenti narrativi, tutti singolarmente fulminanti. Il romanzo è nella cinquina dei finalisti del Premio Strega 2025.Chiude la puntata di Alice Mirador, lo spazio in cui voci della letteratura in italiano raccontano le novità letterarie più sorprendenti: oggi Viola di Grado presenta A quattro zampe (Feltrinelli) di Miranda July.undefinedundefinedundefinedundefined

In this episode of The First Day from The Fundraising School, host Bill Stanczykiewicz, Ed.D., reconnects with his longtime mentor and fundraising sage, Tim Seiler, Ph.D., Director Emeritus of The Fundraising School. Together, they dive into a topic that's more relevant than ever: how to navigate the stormy seas of fundraising during uncertain times. Dr. Seiler shares war stories from his early fundraising days, reflecting on crises from the 1987 stock market crash to today's mix of economic and social uncertainties. His message? While fundraisers can't control the turbulence, they can control their approach, and it starts with what he calls “rational hope.” Dr. Seiler unpacks this idea of rational hope, steering us away from the siren song of blind optimism. Instead, he champions a clear-headed, proactive mindset: keep reaching out to donors, but with empathy and creativity. Forget about relentless asks, instead, update them on your mission's progress, share ideas, and show them you're still standing tall. He shares his own experiences as a donor receiving thoughtful “just checking in” messages from nonprofits, illustrating how these gestures reinforce connection and purpose. As Seiler says, it's about reminding donors not just of the need, but of the joy and satisfaction that comes from making a difference. The conversation also explores a delicate, often unspoken challenge in the nonprofit world: fundraisers' hesitancy to admit when times are tough. Dr. Seiler and Stanczykiewicz shine a light on this vulnerability, encouraging transparency and authenticity. They argue that sharing struggles, whether it's a budget cut or a missed goal—doesn't signal failure; it signals humanity. This honesty not only builds trust but also invites donors to become part of the solution. As Seiler puts it, “If it were easy, we wouldn't need fundraisers.” Or in the words of A League of Their Own: “The hard is what makes it great.” Wrapping up, the episode channels a rousing spirit of resilience, celebrating the enduring generosity of donors who bounce back time after time, through recessions, crises, and even pandemics. With references to the classic wisdom of Henry Rosso and a dash of literary flair from William Faulkner and Walt Whitman, this episode offers fundraisers a playbook for tough times: stay hopeful but realistic, be persistent, and never forget the shared humanity that fuels philanthropy. Bottom line? Keep swinging for the fences. Fundraising's not for the faint of heart, but it's worth every pitch.

Air Date 5/18/2025 The full quote from today's title is from one of the most celebrated writers of Southern American literature, William Faulkner, who said, "The past is never dead. It's not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity.” The new film, Sinners, set in the Jim Crow South, attempts to take on some of the subjects that make up that web of history and consequence. The theme of today's episode is an attempt to dig into many of the subjects of the film. Be part of the show!

This podcast provides an overview of fascism as both an ideology and a political tactic. In what ways was Nazi Germany a typical fascist state? This episode is one small part of my larger podcast series called "Nazi Germany and the Battle for the Human Heart." How does something like the rise of Nazi Germany happen? Why? Who's responsible? What is fascism? What did it mean to be a Nazi? What role did the average person have in the development of the Nazi state? How responsible is the ordinary person in the development of great evil? How did nazism infect schools, institutions, and bureaucracy? Just how racist was the average person in Germany at the time? Why did the Holocaust happen? Who were the killers and why did they do it? Did anyone stand up to all of this evil? This series is an attempt to answer all of these questions in the specific context of Nazi Germany, and to show that as William Faulkner once said, "the only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself." It's based on an audio course I made several years ago called "Nazi Germany and the Battle for the Human Heart," with some brand new added content, remastered audio, and a new introduction and conclusion.

Whether you are someone who is reading the novel for academic purposes, or you simply want to enjoy an incredible story for it's own sake, this podcast series goes chapter by chapter into the plot, characters, and themes of the book...“The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; it's kindness infinite.” Piranesi lives in an infinite house, with no long-term memory and only a loose sense of identity. As the secrets of the House deepen and the mystery of his life becomes more sinister, Piranesi must discover who he is and how this brings him closer to the “Great and Secret Knowledge” that the House contains. Touching on themes of memory, identity, mental health, knowledge, reason, experience, meaning, reflection, ideals, and more…Piranesi will be remembered as one of the great books of the 21st century.

In this gripping and profoundly informative conversation, I sit down with Izabella Tabarovsky, a leading scholar of Soviet anti-Zionism and contemporary left antisemitism. Tabarovsky is a Senior Fellow at the Z3 Institute for Jewish Priorities and a Research Fellow at both the London Centre for the Study of Contemporary Antisemitism and ISGAP.Drawing from her years of research on Soviet propaganda and its legacy, Tabarovsky unpacks how virulently antisemitic forms of "anti-Zionism" were central to Cold War-era Communist ideology—and how many of these same tropes and tactics have re-emerged in today's far-left discourse. From the Soviet Union's deployment of conspiracy theories linking Zionism to Nazism to the global campaign that culminated in the infamous 1975 UN Resolution declaring Zionism a form of racism, we trace how these narratives were manufactured, exported, and normalized.Tabarovsky argues that, to quote William Faulkner, “the past is not dead, it is not even past.” Soviet-era antisemitic anti-Zionism, she shows, has left behind a “toxic ideological brew” that still shapes public conversations, academic discourse, and political movements in the West.Topics discussed:The Soviet Union's anti-Zionist propaganda machine and the role of the KGBHow antisemitism was masked as political critiqueThe use of prominent Soviet Jews in anti-Zionist campaignsThe parallels between Cold War-era propaganda and modern leftist antisemitismThe ideological roots of contemporary far-left anti-Zionist rhetoric

And now for something completely different... featuring one of past guests & fellow authors Ace Atkins, Megan Abbott, & William Boyle's dearest friends. The first half of this week's episode with Oxford, Mississippi based ADVENTURE TIME & SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS screenwriter, voice actor, & author Jack Pendarvis is a freewheeling anything goes conversation about writing, shovels, William Faulkner cosplay, hitchhiking with butter knives, Saint Augustine, showers, & anything else that popped into our heads. Taking a look at two films about the creative process in the more classically Watch With Jen formatted second half of this discussion, we investigate two of Jack's favorite movies in director Anthony Mann's classic musical biopic THE GLENN MILLER STORY & one of Pedro Almodovar's greatest masterworks, PAIN AND GLORY. This season, I'm aiming to sprinkle in some more casual conversations with artists of all backgrounds into our traditional friendly analytic approach because right now, it feels like we're all so isolated, stressed, & wary that I'm hoping these occasional offbeat episodes might spark a little joy, discovery, & creativity for you along the way as well.Originally Posted on Patreon (4/7/25) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/126066237Shop Watch With Jen logo Merchandise in Logo Designer Kate Gabrielle's Threadless ShopDonate to the Pod via Ko-fi Theme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive
Francesco Marangi"Angeli di sale"Polidoro Editorewww.alessandropolidoroeditore.itSiamo in un paese della costa ligure, tra gli ulivi e il mare. Pietro, maggiore di tre fratelli, torna nella sua casa natale per far visita al padre malato. Il suo ritorno apre una voragine che rimescola il tempo, lo inghiotte, lo dilata e rende i fratelli mere apparenze al cospetto del passato. Le voci dei protagonisti si confondono e si contraddicono e il paesaggio si deforma. Ogni cosa rimane trasfigurata dentro ricordi tragici che non si è in grado di raccontare con chiarezza, se non con la crudeltà di un'allucinazione dolorosa.Riemergono vecchi rancori, promesse, l'abbandono della madre, le violenze, l'amore di Pietro per Maria, la vicina di casa che insieme al fratello Enrico era loro compagna di giochi fin dall'infanzia. E poi la decisione di Pietro di andare lontano per non tornare più. Il vento, il mare, l'estate di ombre urlanti; ogni cosa è rumorosa. Nel frattempo, un segreto viperino progredisce con il peso mitologico di un'annunciata dannazione. Spetterà a Pietro – specie di addolorato e indemoniato Ulisse –, ricondurre tutto al principio risolutivo degli eventi.Francesco Marangi ci consegna un esordio sperimentale, di adulta poeticità, che si affaccia a Mentre morivo di William Faulkner, al romanzo oscuro La fornace di Thomas Bernhard, fino a ricavare dalla mitologica poesia di Wallace Stevens la delicatezza della carne senza mai divorarla.Francesco Marangi è nato a Genova nel 1998 e risiede a Varazze. Sta per conseguire la laurea triennale in Scrittura e Contemporary Humanities presso la Scuola Holden di Torino. Ha svolto vari lavori, nelle serre come aiuto bracciante e sulle spiagge come bagnino. Ha partecipato altre due volte al Premio Calvino con i romanzi Delirio in rosso e L'artista violento.

Jun Fujita is the Japanese-American photographer behind some of the most recognizable photographs taken in Chicago in the 20th century, including his shots of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre of 1929, the Eastland passenger boat disaster of 1915, and the 1919 Chicago race riots. Fujita was also a published poet and something of a regional celebrity, known for socializing with William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway. Fujita's foreign identity also made him the subject of government inquiry and suspicion on multiple occasions — during both World War I and World War II — according to Graham Lee, Fujita's great-nephew and the author of a new Fujita biography, “Jun Fujita: Behind the Camera.” After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, Fujita's assets were frozen, his business was shuttered, his cameras were taken away, and he constrained himself to Chicago to avoid possible internment, Lee said. How did Fujita navigate this perilous time for an immigrant in Chicago? We sat down with Lee to discuss how Fujita, a “supremely confident person,” came to rely on both the support of his community and his wits.
Finding a cause worth dying for is no great trick—the Universe is full of them. Finding one worth living for is the genuine problem! Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.How many vintage science fiction authors won a Pulitzer Prize? Ray Bradbury never won a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, but received a Pulitzer Special Citation in 2007 for his impact on literature. The answer is three. Booth Tarkington, MacKinlay Kantor and Michael Shaara. Booth Tarkington is one of only four novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, along with William Faulkner, John Updike, and Colson Whitehead. Tarkington wrote only three short sci-fi stories. MacKinlay Kantor wrote eight short sci-fi stories and one science fiction novel If the South Had Won the Civil War released in 1961.Michael Shaara is the most well known of the three. Shaara was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1928. Before he began selling sci-fi for 2 cents a word in the 1950s he was a boxer and a police officer. He won his Pulitzer for his novel about the Battle of Gettysburg, The Killer Angels which won the award in 1975, and was showcased on the big screen in the 1993 movie Gettysburg starring Tom Berenger and Martin Sheen.Shaara also wrote the 1991 novel For Love of the Game which was made into the 1999 film with the same name starring Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston. But it all began back in 1952. He wrote two dozen short sci-fi stories and this was his first. From Galaxy Science Fiction in June 1952, we will discover this tale of artificial intelligence, and the fate of a forgotten world on page 78, Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Renwick, with too much time on his hands, was bored. He turned to Mead, in his discontent, only to discover some frightening aspects of his friend's hobby of collecting children's games and rhymes.

Dr. Scott Yarbrough, PhD is a professor of English at Charleston Southern University, as well as the host of two literary podcasts, Reading McCarthy & Great American Novel out of Charleston, South Carolina. This episode is dedicated to the hunting novella, The Bear by America's 20th-century literary master, William Faulkner. After a reading, we begin with Faulkner's biography as Scott describes the major themes within his writing: the southern gothic push back to the over-romanticization of the old south; race & the aftermath of slavery; time & history; and the tension between loving & hating where one comes from. Then we turn to a discussion, synopsis & analysis of The Bear, Faulkner's coming-of-age novella about a boy's hunting camp as they search for a dog powerful enough to bay the mythic bear, Old Ben, that haunts a 100-square miles of Mississippi wilderness that soon will vanish under the logger's ax. Woven throughout are conversations about: the evolution of language; writers that hunt; "toxic masculinity;" bear symbolism; the wildness within; Scott's rural upbringing; city-dwellers appreciating southern literature; and last but not least, William Faulkner's feist dogs!Reading from Big Woods: The Hunting Stories by William Faulkner.

William Faulkner, The Art of Fiction No. 12, The Paris Review. Noventa e nove por cento de talento... Noventa e nove por cento de disciplina... Noventa e nove por cento de trabalho. Não se preocupe apenas em ser melhor do que seus contemporâneos ou antecessores. Tente ser melhor do que você mesmo. Um artista é uma criatura guiada por demônios. Ele não sabe por que eles o escolheram e, em geral, está ocupado demais para se perguntar por quê. Ele é totalmente amoral, pois roubará, pedirá emprestado, implorará ou roubará de qualquer pessoa para realizar o trabalho. Julio Adler e Bruno Bocayuva conversaram com Mateus herdy sobre surfe competitivo e surfe feito dentro da nossa cabeça.

As a novelist, short story author, screenwriter, and Nobel laureate, William Faulkner looms large in modern American literature. Yet the very range of his work and the sources for his rich literary worlds often defy easy assessment. In The Life of William Faulkner: The Past Is Never Dead, 1897-1934 (University of Virginia Press, 2020), Carl Rollyson uses both an extensive range of archival collections and Faulkner's wide-ranging literary output to assess the author's life and the development of his many famous works. Growing up in Mississippi, young William absorbed his family's tales and the larger history of the region to which it was tied. Yet it took Faulkner's journeys outside of his community – first to Canada to train as a pilot for the Royal Air Force, then his extended visits to New York and Europe – to gain the perspective necessary to best use them in his writing. After an early foray into poetry Faulkner focused on writing prose, emerging by the end of the 1920s as an acclaimed author of novels and short stories. As Rollyson shows, this fame brought Faulkner to Hollywood, where he demonstrated quickly his ability to write as well for the rapidly emerging medium of talking pictures.

Sam Newman, Mike Sheahan and Don Scott - 'You Cannot Be Serious'
Joseph Dolce; born October 13, 1947) is an American-Australian singer, songwriter, poet and essayist. Dolce achieved international recognition with his multi-million-selling novelty song, "Shaddap You Face", released worldwide under the name of his one-man show, Joe Dolce Music Theatre, in 1980–1981. The single reached number one in 15 countries. It has sold more than 450,000 copies in Australia and continues to be the most successful Australian-produced single worldwide, selling an estimated six million copies. It reached No. 1 on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart for eight weeks from November 1980. 1947–1977: Early year Dolce was born in 1947 in Painesville, Ohio, the eldest of three children to Italian American parents. He graduated from Thomas W. Harvey High School in 1965. During his senior year, he played the lead role of Mascarille in Moliere's Les Précieuses Ridicules for a production staged by the French Club of Lake Erie Frie College, which was his first time on stage, acting and singing an impromptu song he created from the script. The play was well-received and his performance was noted by director Jake Rufli, who later invited him to be part of his production of Jean Anouilh's Eurydice. His co-star in Les Précieuses Ridicules was a sophomore on a creative writing scholarship at Lake Erie College, Carol Dunlop, who introduced him to folk music, poetry and the writings of William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway. Dunlop later married the Argentine novelist Julio Cortazar. Dolce attended Ohio University, majoring in architecture, from 1965 to 1967 before deciding to become a professional musician. While attending college at Ohio University, in Athens, Ohio, he formed various bands including Headstone Circus, with Jonathan Edwards who subsequently went on as a solo artist to have a charting hit song in the US ("Sunshine"). Edwards subsequently recorded five Dolce songs including, "Athens County", "Rollin' Along", "King of Hearts", "The Ballad of Upsy Daisy" and "My Home Ain't in the Hall of Fame", the latter song becoming an alt country classic, also recorded by Robert Earl Keen, Rosalie Sorrels, JD Crowe & the New South and many others. 1978–1984: Move to Australia, "Boat People" and "Shaddap You Face" Dolce relocated to Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, in 1978 and his first single there was "Boat People"—a protest song on the poor treatment of Vietnamese refugees—which was translated into Vietnamese and donated to the fledgling Vietnamese community starting to form in Melbourne. His one-man show, Joe Dolce Music Theatre, was performed in cabarets and pubs with various line-ups, including his longtime partner, Lin Van Hek. In July 1980, he recorded the self-penned 'Shaddap You Face", for the Full Moon Records label, at Mike Brady's new studios in West Melbourne. When in Ohio, Dolce would sometimes visit his Italian grandparents and extended family—they used the phrases "What's the matter, you?" and "Eh, shaddap", which Dolce adapted and used in the song. He wrote the song about Italians living in Australia and first performed it at Marijuana House, Brunswick Street, Fitzroy in 1979. It became a multi-million-selling hit, peaking at No. 1 on the Australian Kent Music Report Singles Chart for eight weeks from November 1980,in the UK from February 1981 for three weeks, and also No. 1 in Germany, France, Fiji, Puerto Rico, the Canadian province of Quebec, Austria, New Zealand and Switzerland. Dolce received the Advance Australia Award in 1981. The song has had hundreds of cover versions over the decades including releases by artists as diverse as Lou Monte, Sheila (France), Andrew Sachs (Manuel, of Fawlty Towers), actor Samuel L. Jackson and hip-hop legend KRS-One. In 2018, the first Russian language version was released by two of Moscow's most popular singers, Kristina Orbakaite and Philipp Kirkoroy. The song has been translated into fifteen languages, including an aboriginal dialect. By February 1981, it had become Australia's best-selling single ever selling 290,000 copies, entering the Guinness Book of World Records and surpassing the previous record of 260,000 copies by Brady's own "Up There Cazaly". "Shaddap You Face" has continued to be licensed and recorded by other artists and companies since its release in 1980 with its most recent appearance, in 2021, as part of the US series The Morning Show (aka, Morning Wars in Australia.) Follow up single, "If You Wanna Be Happy" was released in 1981 and charted in Australia and New Zealand. In December 1981, Dolce released the album Christmas in Australia, which peaked at number 92 on the Australian chart. 1984–present With Lin Van Hek , he formed various performance groups including Skin the Wig, La Somnambule (1984) and the ongoing Difficult Women (1993). Van Hek and Dolce co-wrote "Intimacy", for the soundtrack of the 1984 film The Terminator, now part of the US Library of Congress collection. He was a featured lead actor in the Australian film Blowing Hot and Cold (1988). He has continued to perform solo and with Van Hek as part of their music-literary cabaret Difficult Women. In 2010, two of his photos were selected for publication in the US journal, Tupelo Quarterly. Since 2009, he has been a prolifically published poet in Australia.

This week on The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy of DFER and U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng interview Carl Rollyson, CUNY professor, and acclaimed biographer of William Faulkner. Prof. Rollyson offers an in-depth exploration of Faulkner's life, work, and enduring legacy. He discusses Faulkner's formative years in early 20th-century Mississippi a region still grappling with its post-Civil War identity, and his early literary influences, including mentorship by Phil Stone and encounters with literary greats like Sherwood Anderson. Rollyson delves into Faulkner's tumultuous personal life, his complex marriage to his wife Estelle, and his writing routine at his Oxford, Mississippi, home, Rowan Oak. Rollyson examines Faulkner's creation of Yoknapatawpha County, the setting for masterpieces such as The Sound and the Fury and Absalom, Absalom!, as well as his Hollywood years and their impact on his craft. He also explores Faulkner's views on race and civil rights, his Nobel Prize-winning novels, and his influence on Southern literature and writers like Flannery O'Connor and Ralph Ellison. In closing, Prof. Rollyson reads a passage from his two-volume biography, The Life of William Faulkner.
John J. Miller is joined by Nick Ripatrazone to discuss William Faulkner's 'As I Lay Dying.'
Today on the show we have Wright Thompson here to talk about his latest book, one of the most powerful books I've ever read — The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi, which came out September 24. Though it's not mentioned in the title or the subtitle, the book is about the brutal, absolutely depraved murder of 14-year-old Emmett Till on August 28, 1955 in Mississippi. I have a deep connection with Mississippi, as does Wright, who was born and raised there, and who grew up just 23 miles from the barn where Emmett lost his life (and where the book's title comes from). Though Wright grew up so very close to where this atrocity took place, he never found out about this awful murder until he went to college out of state. As he writes in The Barn, the erasure of Emmett's murder “was a collective effort, one that continues to this day.” It has been nearly 70 years since this unspeakable crime, and The Barn is an effort to reverse that erasure. William Faulkner has been quoted as saying, “To understand the world, you must first understand a place like Mississippi,” and I must admit, it's difficult to understand this senseless murder. The two men accused of murdering Emmett, Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam, were acquitted in a mockery of justice. The four-hour torture and murder of a young man who was barely a teenager for allegedly whistling at a young white woman was depraved, even for Mississippi at the time. In today's episode, Wright sets the scene for us of what August 1955 was like in Mississippi, especially in terms of race relations. He also tells us about that terrible night and what precipitated it and tells us more about Emmett's brave and courageous mother, Mamie Till, who insisted that her son's badly damaged body be on display in an open casket at his funeral after his body was returned home from Mississippi to Chicago because, in her words, she wanted to “Let the world see what I've seen.” Emmett's death essentially launched the civil rights movement — for context, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus on December 1, 1955, just over three months after Emmett's senseless killing. When asked why she didn't give up her seat, she said, “I thought of Emmett Till, and I just couldn't go back.” Just as the book is overwhelmingly powerful, so too is the fact that, as we recorded this episode, Wright was at the barn, working on a project that will eventually be announced with those who knew and loved Emmett. I got to see the barn on our Zoom call, and I'm forever moved and impacted by it. After Bryant and Milam were acquitted and therefore protected against double jeopardy, the two men admitted in a 1956 interview with Look magazine (which Wright references in this episode) that they had, indeed, tortured and murdered Emmett. To a point we later make in the episode, they both died young of cancer. Here on the show today is the incomparable Wright Thompson. He is a senior writer for ESPN.com and ESPN the Magazine, and his 2010 article “Ghosts of Mississippi” inspired the 2012 ESPN 30 for 30 documentary film The Ghosts of Ole Miss, which he narrated, about the 1962 Ole Miss football team's perfect season and the concurrent violence and rioting over the integration of the university by James Meredith. He also narrated the ESPN 30 for 30 film Roll Tide/War Eagle. Prior to writing The Barn, Wright also published the book Pappyland: A Story of Family, Fine Bourbon, and the Things That Last, which came out in 2020. Take a listen to our conversation — and please be forewarned it contains deeply disturbing subject matter, but subject matter that is absolutely necessary to hear. The Barn: The Secret History of a Murder in Mississippi by Wright Thompson
The phrase “Kill Your Darlings,” attributed to writer William Faulkner, is a piece of advice given to authors that suggests cutting the parts of a story or novel that they love the most. The idea is that these "darlings" often hinder the overall flow, clarity, or effectiveness of the piece. In a business context, the concept translates well. We often hold on to projects, products, or services that we're emotionally attached to, despite evidence that they may be draining resources or no longer serving the overall goals of the company. When I looked at the bigger picture, I realized that while the Full Funnel Freedom show had been incredibly valuable and rewarding, it wasn't helping me move toward my ultimate goal—helping my clients scale their sales and achieve their ideal exits. To focus more effectively on supporting them, I made the tough decision to “kill my darling” and end the podcast. Letting go of something I've invested in emotionally and professionally wasn't easy, but it was necessary to free up time and energy for the things that will drive my business and clients forward. It's a reminder that sometimes, even our most cherished projects can hold us back from what really matters. What you'll learn: How do you identify which projects or services are no longer serving your long-term goals? What is the process for evaluating the value versus the burden of current business offerings? How can the “Kill Your Darlings” mindset help leaders make tough but necessary decisions for growth? Thank you for listening. --- Connect with Hamish on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hamishknox/ Meet Hamish at a Sandler Summit: https://www.hamish.sandler.com/orlando Fathom: https://fathom.video/invite/72CZPA Humanic: https://app.humantic.ai/login/?referral_code=HamishKnox_SA

Los seguidores de Hemingway decían que Faulkner era un acomplejado frente a la superioridad de Hemingway. En fin, no sé yo. No sé de qué lado me acuesto(...) Yo que he sido seguidor de los dos, viendo aquí ésto que parece dejarlo a Faulkner en un segundo lugar, me resisto tenazmente. Y eso que yo he leído mucho más a Hemingway que a Faulkner. Pero porque por una razón casual, fortuita: yo me encontré con la obra de Hemingway mucho antes de encontrarme con Fulkner, entonces, hubo una época en que me había agarrado una adicción con Hemingway, y realmente me parece extraordinario pero, si yo tuviera que elegir entre los dos para ver quién debiera ser el acomplejado, seguramente me eligiría a William Faulkner." • "El Que Atrasó El Reloj" ♫ (Guillermo Barbieri/Enrique Cadícamo).

Rerun: Howard Hawks' film noir ‘The Big Sleep' finally hit cinemas on 23rd August, 1946, after extra crowd-pleasing repartee had been inserted, featuring real life couple Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. But more flirtation meant less exposition - making the plot of the detective story notoriously difficult to follow, even to the extent that the filmmakers had to call author Raymond Chandler to ask him who had killed one of the characters. In this episode, Rebecca, Arion and Olly explain why the Hays censorship code compounded an already confusing script; reveal William Faulkner's left-field approach to WFH; and consider why - on the silver screen, anyway - women appeared to fall at Bogart's feet… Further Reading: • ‘The Big Sleep: Proof That Plot Doesn't Matter' (Den of Geek, 2019): https://www.denofgeek.com/movies/the-big-sleep-proof-that-plot-doesn-t-matter/ • ‘Homosexuality and the Production Code –The Big Sleep' (Sophie Hagberg, 2014): https://sophiehagbergscrn131.wordpress.com/2014/03/17/homosexuality-and-the-production-code-the-big-sleep-1946/ • ‘They're Together Again!'
